colin carron 58,916 Posted October 21, 2005 Ben, thanks, and please critique as you think - it would be surprising if there was not some area where we saw things diffeently. This is one shot. I usually set the camera on 'Auto depth of field mode' when doing this sort of thing. It normally gives enough dof. Thanks for the thought about the computer. It was a decision whether to repair my old W98 macine or get a new shiny pc. New shiny got the vote. Wilson, thanks, I agree the foreground is important and I felt the dark sky went with the dark stomne of the abbey ruin. Henri, yes, I see the similarity to the Abaye des Chateliers. (Must go back to Charente-Maritime one day!) I now have a new computer..... Paula, Ilse, Kathy, Vi - thanks! Link to comment
oofoto 0 Posted October 23, 2005 Colin, great image. I think I would have been tempted to get feet slightly wet and shoot lower and closer to the foreground grass - just a thought. I also wonder whether it would be possible to catch this on a sunrise so lighting one side with a golden glow? Link to comment
aepelbacher 0 Posted October 24, 2005 I like this one a lot, too! I might have cropped it a tiny bit tighter at the top, bringing the horizon higher. But it's such a great sky, I can understand why one might not want to get rid of any of it! :-) What a wonderful impression of isolation here, Colin! Link to comment
